8:31 am
don't come. more news today violence is once again flared up the full these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are the day.
8:32 am
to you live from moscow where it's four thirty pm our time stories. of will they score before inspectors come to russia to look over the bid to map football's biggest prize hosting the world cup in twenty eight to me hard to talk to those who have to play for. five years after israeli settlers were uploaded from gaza thousands of jewish people living in the west bank fear they're also about to be forced from their homes. and the weather prices just won't like go russians hit by hurricanes and to rental rain in the northwest all still reeling from weeks of on the president and heat wave burning wildfires and suffocating small. fire for hip hop musician john's bid for the presidency in haiti made headlines around the world . talks to us rapper immortal technique to find out if the news of industry can really offer more than words to quake struck island.
8:33 am
you took the incentive to help raise money for haitian so many hundreds of thousands that are still in need why did you feel that you actually had to fly over to haiti to see the dispersant on the funds i went there at the request of hip hop for haiti and always around haiti. there's a club s.o.b.'s in downtown new york that was gracious enough to involve themselves personally in the cause to support the haitian people. and when i heard about the what was going on i said you know whatever you guys need from me and they said we want you to get the word out about what's really going on here you know so the best way to do that is to come down there not to read pamphlets full of statistics or to just study them in books but also to actively participate in them you know i think that's the line between an activist and a revolutionary and you have to involve yourself
8:34 am
a lot more than the particular cause and have the most serious commitment sometimes i get accused of being too serious but goes with the territory i want to ask about a few things that you saw there in the children the orphans from what i read you actually were holding think a one year old in your hand and then when you were done holding up a child passed that one year old off to another level you're all talking about that experience and what you saw in terms of the kids in the orphanage there the thing that struck me is how young of the country it is and when people come to me that's me you know what is haiti need as i say that haiti needs schools they need education they need to be able to learn how to be self-sufficient self-sustaining and to not always be reliant on foreign aid which is equivocal to the large corporations and large countries paying themselves and saying that they're donating money to haiti i read that you said foreign aid is this is
8:35 am
a deceptive freight. i'm not saying that all of it is i want to clarify that i'm in no way shape or form ungrateful or trying to discount the support that. haiti has gotten from every major entity from a country to a corporation because they have saved people's lives they pull people out of rubble they've done an extraordinary amount of things but i think that there is a level of corruption that exists beneath the surface when we talk about foreign aid when we talk about donating to a cause or talk about the fees that are incurred for certain aid organizations that have what is it forty percent off the top they go to their expenses and i think it's a little disingenuous but. that's my opinion but when i look at haiti and what it signifies when i see that someone who is eleven years old worrying about raising three other kids around them younger than them it really. struck
8:36 am
a chord according to the new york times only five percent of the rubble has actually been removed do you see that with your own eyes what did it look like when you were walking through absolutely as you go through port au prince and the surrounding areas and you'll see buildings that are still collapsed their. counterpart to the white house is still in shambles broken down people are trying to build rebuild their own independent businesses. on the rubble itself you know that making every desperate attempt they can to take. whatever structure is still left and build something out of it. when we talk about their safety and what their living conditions are what i saw is that the people who are inside the tent cities there are usually about two or three families per ten so when you look at those tents it's a little misleading because it's like oh they're fine now they have
8:37 am
a to. you know no they don't and that's fine you know what happens when hurricane season comes how those tents going to hold up to that you know i think that there is something to look at in terms of a long term vision of what is going to happen to the country who's in to be in control of it it's it's a military state it's a police state run by america in the u.s. and the u.n. at interchangeable entities sometimes i want to ask you about that because you were a little harsh in terms of the united nations that what it has done or has not done for haiti despite the promises that have been made. by the united nations and independently by the united states what do you think the interests are when we talk about people's interests and whether they're genuine. it's hard to say i'm sure some people's interests are very much genuine i'm sure there are people on the ground level and people who are below that is executive shame that sit there and
8:38 am
say you know what i'm trying to do something good for the people i'm trying to go out there i've lost my in order to make that happen but i don't think they're the ones that desire the program the ones that design the protocol you know just the worker bees very well paid worker bees but they don't know how the hive is being formed do they haitians believe from what they told you that the u.s. is going to fulfill the promises that it has made in order to help them help them rebuild the younger ones are they really are very positive people no matter what life throws at them it's like we're going to get through this and if the u.s. is willing to partner with us and help us then hopefully they'll stay they'll stay true to their word so they're hopeful whereas when i talk to some of the. you know old a you know they look at it as here's the country they kidnapped our act last president
8:39 am
has a country has been involved in supporting you know brutal dictatorships for decades really you're here to help them when asked about this firing one of. the ten suspects that pled guilty to being are an unregistered agent of a foreign country is. journalist vicky pelaez who had to be expelled from the united states that day that she had guilty she was flown to russia and then from what's reported and confirmed by her attorney she got relocating to her native home per year from her family in peru how do you think she's going to be received there well from what my family tells me it was a lot bigger news there than it was here specifically because she was peruvian why latin america has always felt as if they're the pawns in russia in america's chess game you know we've always felt like we're not always but i make it clear to people and make them understand where our struggle comes from it doesn't begin in the
8:40 am
fifty's and sixty's it doesn't begin with the adoption of a communist ideology or a socialist ideology it begins when indigenous people were being slaughtered in colonized them had their political system devolved their economic system devolved years ago america went around proselytizing. democracy to all parts of the world saying you know we should should have a democracy that people can be in charge but when the people of latin america saw that the same prognosticator the profit of democracy was sitting there supporting these brutal dictatorships they said well who else has something on the table and russia who loved to be a thought in america because both of them don't want to war with a real country so today let's see how this plays out here what's interesting to me is what's under. reported about. the spies and what's going on because probably about
8:41 am
a week after that i read an article talking about how right wing colombians were in belgium and other parts of europe i'm trying to get people who are complaining nice human rights organizations talking about other horrific human rights records that the right wing government in colombia. they were trying to shut them down threatening people's lives so when i look at that it's one of the other you have spies from a right wing faction in colombia somewhere and then you have spies from a left wing faction or going through better who are then a swimmer i think anyone who really is a political animal knows that this is just a joke you know and knows that it's not a serious is not like they stole that the plane is the death star you know what do they do they came over here they hung out at p.t.a. meetings you know i'm not discounting the seriousness of it because when you look at history people have really lost their lives people have been executed in this country despite but we're not at that cold war era it almost looked like
8:42 am
a setup it almost looked like they had planned to have some big spy exchange before it actually happened what the purpose of the. well we were it me or anyone who's watching this program could say oh well maybe they want to take the public's mind off of other things but at the end of the day i think it was probably the kindest spy exchange the most civil disagreement that russia and america had you brought up america's democracy and america's democracy you know u.s. democracy usually goes hand in hand capitalism. but he made. the united states that form of capitalism following the financial meltdown that we start taking place nearly two years ago do you think capitalism is going to continue as a model the ultimate model here in the u.s. when i talk about capitalism and communism there's nowhere you can go to escape capitalism. you know even in russia. they could teach america few things about
8:43 am
overblown capitalism if you want to go escape to communist china where there were more capitalist than america in many ways and they perfected. keeping their people quiet about the way that their capitalist system is run which is something i wish america i think america wishes they could do sometimes but at the cost of what. what's the human cost of this laissez faire economic system that's built up closely with a longer standard that means that means an economic system that doesn't have any regulation or any government intervention on haiti right now has an opportunity to completely rebuild that system. from scratch what do you think is going to happen and how do you think it's going to happen it's a country that lives under military occupation like a list the haitian people are proactive about taking control of it themselves they will find. the terms of their republic dictated to them by other people.
8:44 am
outside entities. not just governments but corporations what do you encourage. those that want to help to do if you really want to involve yourself in it. then teach them you know i mean if you're a doctor go down. work in a clinic don't understand if you're an ordinary average citizen find a grassroots organization that is actually physically doing things on the ground. rather than just mailing fifty dollars to the red cross twenty dollars of which is actually going to go to the haitian people. and i think that more than anything else. what i learned. from my trip. was that. humanity when. confronted with some of the most drastic and devastating. of tragedies and possibly befall them
8:45 am
still the has the capacity for resilience. that touch of the soul. signed up to join the military because i thought that it was my duty not that it was something that i could do to help my country. my government that it is necessary for america to vietnam there was a lot of drug abuse there was a lot of murder of american officers and soldiers there were a lot of good stories. to go out and buy. these tools of war i always thought i wanted to win a lot of medals and to have a lot of decorations but afterwards i realize that they don't mean anything. that importance. i don't i don't i never kept the medal.
8:46 am
for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. in hotels. toto keep it is congress photo east west never told. sky. historical hotels of escape the city. malls. the strength for us to try to come to her toe. things well a score me for. inspectors come to russia to look over the bridge in that football's biggest prize hosting the world cup twenty eight teams are to talk to
8:47 am

8:50 am

8:51 am

8:52 am
enough to survive three two but that was a failure for different. i think we need to improve on every victory is easier we needed to win a big game against a tough team away from home and now we have to work hard we have fourteen games that will be like fourteen so we can finish the championship a little higher to supposed to live to fight another day and quest for european football next season. to moscow. and in sunday's first game. head to head both sides have been strong but on this occasion it was the home crowd smiling. volkoff free kick in the sixty fifth minute making all the difference to move out of the relegation zone. right so let's take a look at how things stand with the season just over halfway through the neat well they are very much the side to catch now with a hefty seven point advantage they. hold a game in hand on champions rubin who are third while done the other end favorites
